Traveling...Right Call?

So if he hadn't used his dribble already, and the ball touched the floor, he could keep dribbling without violating?

Team A had team control. As we all know, team control ends when there is a try for goal. However, since this kid was shooting at the wrong basket, it really wasn't a try for goal. Therefore, team control still existed when he shot at the wrong basket. Travel.

Is my logic correct?

Nearly. Team control is not the relevant kind for determining traveling.

correct

That would depend upon when the pivot foot was lifted. Most shooters jump to shoot before releasing the ball and that would still be a travel. If the shooter had not lifted his pivot foot before the release then correct.

...you sure about that?

What about the player who has ended their dribble...then jumps in the air to PASS the ball.

The player "lifted the pivot foot"...so you are saying that would be a travel?

But it's a violation to start a dribble while the pivot foot is off the ground (4.43.3 A (d))

I believe RookieDude knew that, his point was that moving the pivot foot itself is not illegal. It is only illegal if you start to dribble and your pivot foot moves.

I see...I read his post wrong at first.

Yes, but hoopguy's post was in direct response to a question about whether the player could continue a dribble.
